Core Principles of Multidimensional Intuitive Surrealism (MIS)

A metamorphic language for intuition-led creation

​

1. Intuition Over Automation MIS is anchored in the instinctual act of making. No templates. No mechanical shortcuts. Each piece is a response to lived presence—shaped by intuition, emotion, and embodied process—resulting in visual languages that breathe with human irregularity and internal logic.

​

​

2. Transformation as Praxis Transformation is not a side effect—it is the engine. MIS invites evolution within the artwork, the maker, and the witness. Meaning unfurls over time. The viewer is not passive, but a co-animator of the piece’s unfolding.

​

​

3. Ancestral Memory, Distorted MIS carries faint echoes of folk tradition—not as a style, but as an inherited rhythm. It channels raw mark-making, mythic intuition, and naïve form only to displace them. The result? Works that feel almost remembered—familiar and estranged, like dreams mistaken for memory.

​

​

4. Nonconformity as Integrity MIS exists beyond aesthetic codes, market trends, or academic blueprints. It is built, not borrowed—each work arising from its own symbolic terrain, its own necessity. No formula, only fidelity to the emergent.

​

​

5. Art as Dialogue With the Unknown MIS is not a monologue but a reciprocal unfolding. The artist begins, but the work answers. Symbols arise not from logic but from presence, memory, or dream. The process invites intuition to shape content—trusting the unscripted moment more than the initial plan.

​

​

6. Depth Beyond Aesthetic Surface is only the threshold. MIS thrives on the layered, the coded, the emotional. The longer one looks, the more there is. Its visual language rewards intuitive interpretation, drawing the viewer deeper into slow seeing and symbolic exchange.

​

​

7. Human Hands, Fractal Influence While all MIS works are human-made, reference points may include digital sources, AI-generated images, or found objects—but only as raw inputs. These are metabolized, transformed, and reinterpreted. Nothing is copied. Nothing is co-authored.

​

​

8. Technique in Service to Vision Skill supports MIS, but never defines it. The genre honors refinement only when it enhances emergence. Intuition leads; technique follows. Art is born in the places where control lets go and something more authentic comes through.

MIS is an emergent genre initiated by Kimberley A. Lombardi—honoring instinct, resonance, and transformation.
